Do you think if we completely controlled the Taliban in Afghanistan they wouldn't turn up somewhere else? I don't think you appreciate the power of fundamentalist belief among these people. And would encourage terrorism in the West as long as we occupied to them their sacred homeland.Yet again doesn’t matter. All that mattered was toppling the taliban and setting up a US backed government with the support of our European allies that would keep out sponsors of international terrorism against the west.
You people lost the plot with the popular talking point about Bin Ladin, that’s simple minded thinking.
